Java for FreeBSD: Advocacy

We would like to have FreeBSD known as the stable Java platform.

Request for Enhancement to Sun:
We have petitioned Sun to provide an official FreeBSD port. We are currently in 2nd place in the vote count. If you are a member of the Java Develop er's Connection (it's free), you can vote for it as well http://developer.java.sun .com/developer/bugParade/bugs/4288745.html

Petition IBM for a port to FreeBSD: -
In October, 1999, IBM released a new version of their IBM Developer Kit for Linux. We would like to see them release one for FreeBSD. If anyone has a point of contact in IBM that could spearhead this petition, please let Patrick Gardella know. +

Java for FreeBSD: UNSUPPORTED

JDK 1.0.x

Although it is noted below, this distribution is no longer found on freefall.FreeBSD.org. If you can find this port, feel free to use it. :) 

 Announcement
 ------------
 A native FreeBSD binary distribution of the JDK 1.0.2 is now available from
   freefall.FreeBSD.org:/pub/FreeBSD/LOCAL_PORTS/jdk102.tar.gz
 This port contains the java interpreter, compiler, and appletviewer.
 This is a completely unsupported distribution.
 
 Installation
 ------------
 1. Grab freefall.FreeBSD.org:/pub/FreeBSD/LOCAL_PORTS/jdk102.tar.gz.
 2. Create a directory and untar the FreeBSD distribution in there.
 3. Install the pdksh port.
 
 Running the JDK
 ---------------
 If your JDK directory is rooted at <jdk>, you need to set
   1. your path to include the <jdk>/bin directory
   2. CLASSPATH environment variable to .:<jdk>/classes
   3. LD_LIBRARY_PATH to include <jdk>/lib/i386
 To compile a java program, invoke 'javac program.java'.
 To run it, use 'java <name of main class>'.
 
 Answers to Common Questions
 ---------------------------
 Q: Do I need Motif?
 A: No.
 
 Q: Which version of FreeBSD does this work on?
 A: I run the current version of FreeBSD, so that's the only version which
    I've verified.     /*"FreeBSD-current?" -comment added by Dave Hummel, not
                                    original author */
 
 Q: It doesn't work on my machine.  What do I do?
 A: You are out of luck.  This is a completely unsupported distribution.

Java for FreeBSD: JDK 1.1.x

November 9, 1999:Another JDK1.1.8 release to fix a separate class of multicast bugs.

September 22, 1999: Re-rolled the JDK1.1.8 yet again to fixup some minor bugs that people have found, as well as to speedup the JDK.

README.FreeBSD:

 JDK1.1.8 for FreeBSD
 --------------------
 Fixed in this release:
 - Printing from the JDK should now work reliably.
 - Updated to now use the assembly version of the interpreter.  Performance
   should be increased.
 - Better handling of signals like DIVIDE and SIGFPE which are trapped and
   handled correctly now.
 - The ELF version should work better with AWT/Swing applications.  The
   FreeBSD project donated a more modern copy of Motif that should avoid
   some weird X errors that occurred previously.
 
 For best results, we suggest you run the most recent releases of FreeBSD,
 which are 2.2.8 for the a.out releases, and FreeBSD 3.2R, to take advantage
 of the fixes in those releases.
 
 If you find bug or have bug-fixes you'd like to see integrated, please send
 email to 'java-port@FreeBSD.org' so we can make future releases even better.
 
 Known Bugs/Limitations:
 ------------------------------------
 The number of sockets that can be used at any one time is hard-coded ahead
 of time (at this time, it's 2000).  This is not necessarily a limitation of
 the FreeBSD kernel, but coming up with a 'dynamic' scheme is non-trivial so
 none of the developers has written the code, and and no-one else has
 provided any patches to the development team.  If this is important to you,
 we welcome any patches to provide a more 'dynamic' scheme that doesn't limit
 the number of file descriptors (sockets).
 ------------------------------------
 To make a a distribution that works without X *and* with X, two binaries
 are provided. The first is linked without X, and is the standard binary.
  The second binary is linked against a static version of X, and against
 the shared X libraries.  The version used is controlled by the setting
 of the DISPLAY environment variable, which is used by X to determine
 where to send the output.

Java for FreeBSD: JDK 2 (aka 1.2.x)

October 11, 1999: Work has re-started on the Java2/JDK1.2 port. Expect an early 'alpha' release in the coming weeks for FreeBSD 3.3-stable/ELF boxes.

For most JDK2 development issues, you can use the JDK1 release and the Swing releases provided by Sun for JDK1, which works very well under FreeBSD.

How to Make a Port

General instructions can be found in the FreeBSD Handbook, under Porting Applications.

For Java ports, there are unofficial standards: 

     1) If it's a library then jar files go into:
           /usr/local/share/java/classes/
 
     2) If it's a stand-alone application then jar files go into:
           /usr/local/share/java/<application-name>/
         and  scripts to run it go into:
           /usr/local/bin/
 
     3) Documentation goes into:
           /usr/local/share/doc/java/<application-name>/

The more ported applications we have, the better. +

How to Help

I want to:
...work on the port itself
...help testing
...report a bug
...write documentation

So you want to help, do you?

Working on the JDK port requires a firm grasp of C, the FreeBSD architecture, and a lot of time to spare. The changes that need to be made in the code have to do with how FreeBSD differs from Solaris, so if you don't know these, you will not go very far in the port. We have had many people say they are willing to help, but when they see what is involved, they drop away.

Having been dutifully warned, here is what you need to do to get involved:

  1. Obtain a license from Sun for the source code
  2. Download the source code
  3. Obtain source code "diffs" Notify Nate Williams nate@mt.sri.com that you have the license and arrange to gain access to the CVS tree.

    AND/OR

  4. Begin hacking on the sources Begin your porting. Jump right in and start digging.
  5. Let the world know you have finished it!

You want to help, but do not know C or FreeBSD that well?

The absolute best thing you can do is download the latest release, install it, and try all your favorite Java applications. If they don't work, see below.

I have a bug!

If you find an application that does not work, or crashes, here are the steps you should follow before reporting it:

  1. Try it again.
  2. Check your settings for this application. Check to see if you made a mistake in starting it up.
  3. Try it on a different platform. If you have access to a reference platform, try it there. (We need to determine if it is an application error, a Java bug, or a FreeBSD specific bug.)
  4. Narrow down the problem. If it is your own code, narrow down the bug to the offending code. Otherwise, determine the steps required to reproduce the problem.
  5. Notify the JDK porting team. Send email to freebsd-java@freebsd.org. Be sure to include the steps you have followed.
  6. Finally, and most importantly, be willing to work with the team to fix the problem.

I can help with the web site or documentation!

Everyone can help here. If you have a suggestion to add to the documentation, write it up and send it to freebsd-java@freebsd.org - +

How to Install

Installing FreeBSD's JDK is typically straightforward:

cd /usr/ports/java/jdk
make
make install
make clean

The JDK does not require any dependencies to install. However, if you wish to run any graphics, you will need to have X installed and running.

Many applications in Java need Java Foundation Classes (Swing) to run. JFC can be installed in: /usr/ports/java/jfc

If you should have trouble, you can see the FreeBSD Handbook section on "installing applications" for help. - +

Java API´s

API - Extensions by Sun Microsystems

The following list contains an excerpt from the available API definitions and implementations from SUN (for a start see Java Products and go e.g. to Standard Extensions)
  • JFC (Java Foundation Classes)
    That is where Swing comes from. For more info see The Swing Connection.
  • JavaTM Media Framework
    The Java Media Framework (JMF) 1.0 API specifies a simple, unified architecture, messaging protocol, and programming interface for media playback. This API was developed by Sun Microsystems, Inc., Silicon Graphics Inc., and Intel Corporation.
    The Java Media Framework (JMF) 2.0 API extends the 1.0 API by providing capture functionality, pluggable codecs, file saving, RTP broadcast and the ability to access and manipulate media data before it is rendered. This API is available for public review, and was developed by Sun Microsystems, Inc. and IBM.
  • JavaTM Advanced Imaging
    The Java Advanced Imaging (JAI) API is the extensible, network-aware programming interface for creating advanced image processing applications and applets in the Java programming language. The Java Advanced Imaging API offers a rich set of image processing features such as tiling, deferred execution and multiprocessor scalability. Fully compatible with the Java 2D API, developers can easily extend the image processing capabilities and performance of standard Java 2D applications with the Java Advanced Imaging API.
  • JavaTM Serial Port (COMM)
    The Java Serial Port can be used to write platform-independent communications applications for technologies such as voice mail, fax, and smartcards. Its current version supports RS232 serial ports and IEEE 1284 parallel ports.
  • Java 3DTM
    The Java 3DTM 1.1 API is a set of classes for writing three-dimensional graphics applications and 3D applets. It gives developers high level constructs for creating and manipulating 3D geometry and for constructing the structures used in rendering that geometry. Application developers can describe very large virtual worlds using these constructs, which provides Java 3D with enough information to render these worlds efficiently.
  • JavaMail
    The JavaMail API provides a set of abstract classes that models a mail system. The API is meant to provide a platform independent and protocol independent framework to build Java-based mail and messaging applications.
  • JavaHelpTM
    JavaHelp is the Help system for the Java platform: it is a Java-based, platform independent help system that enables Java developers to incorporate online help for a variety of needs, including Java components, applications (network and stand-alone), desktops, and HTML pages.
  • JavaBeansTM Activation Framework (JAF)
    With the JavaBeans Activation Framework (JAF) developers can take advantage of standard services to determine the type of an arbitrary piece of data, encapsulate access to it, discover the operations available on it and to instantiate the appropriate JavaBeans component to perform these operations.
  • JavaTM Servlet
    Java Servlet provides a uniform, industry-supported interface for extending a web server with cross-platform and cross-server components written in the Java Programming Language.
  • JavaTM Cryptography (JCE)
    The Java Cryptography Extension (JCE) 1.2 provides a framework and implementations for encryption, key generation and key agreement, and Message Authentication Code (MAC) algorithms. Support for encryption includes symmetric, asymmetric, block, and stream ciphers. The software also supports secure streams and sealed objects.
  • InfoBus
    InfoBus enables dynamic exchange of data between JavaBeans components by defining a small number of interfaces between cooperating Beans and specifying the protocol for use of those interfaces.
    The protocols are based on a notion of an information bus. All components which implement these interfaces can plug into the bus. As a member of the bus any component can exchange data with any other component in structured way, including arrays, tables, and database rowsets.
  • Java Naming and Directory InterfaceTM (JNDI)
    Provides uniform, industry-standard, seamless connectivity from the Java platform to business information assets, thus allowing developers to deliver Java applications with unified access to multiple naming and directory services across the enterprise.
  • The XML Project
    Sun´s home for combining XML and Java Technology

Third Party packages …

  • JGL (Java Generic Library)
    A collection API implementation including linked lists etc. The Collection API before invention of CollcetionAPI in JDK1.2
  • XML4J
    XML Parser for java from IBM

Java Servlets

Servlets are a Java API that can be used to replace Perl CGI scripts, or more specifically, to extend the capabilities of the web server.

Servlets can also be used with XML and XSL.

Java for FreeBSD: NewsFlash!

November, 1999

  • November 28, 1999:Request for Enhancement
    We have petitioned Sun to provide an official FreeBSD JDK2 port. We are currently in 2nd place in the vote count. If you are a member of the Java Developer's Connection (it's free), you can vote for it as well http://developer.java.sun.com/developer/bugParade/bugs/4288745.html
  • November 9, 1999:Another JDK1.1.8 release to fix a separate class of multicast bugs.

October, 1999

  • October 11, 1999: Work has re-started on the Java2/JDK1.2 port. Expect an early 'alpha' release in the coming weeks for FreeBSD 3.3-stable/ELF boxes.

September, 1999

  • September 22, 1999: Re-rolled the JDK1.1.8 yet again to fixup some minor bugs that people have found, as well as to speedup the JDK. For details checkout the README.FreeBSD supplied in the releases.

July, 1999

  • July 19, 1999: Re-rolled the JDK1.1.8 release to fix a couple of minor (but annoying bugs). First, the netpatch (see below) was incorporated into the build, and second an annoying Floating Point bug was found and fixed. The latter bug affected multi-threaded code that did floating point calculations and based on the code could produce completely bogus results.
  • July 2, 1999: Organization of FreeBSD 'CommAPI' porting team wich is an effort to make JAVA's CommAPI freely available to the FreeBSD community. Project is coordinated by DRICOT Jean-Michel and will officialy be maintained in http://student.ulb.ac.be/~jdricot/commapi/. Feel free to contact him if you want to join the project.

June, 1999

  • June 8, 1999: A small bug was found in the JDK1.1.8 release which affected people using UDP sockets. If you tried to send a packet to the broadcast address, the FreeBSD JDK refused with a permissions error. This error was fixed, and rather than re-releasing the entire release a small patchset was re-rolled for those folks who are experiencing this problem. If you experience this problem, feel free to download the gzipped tarfile and untar it wherever you installed the jdk. It will install itself over top of the old version. If you aren't experiencing the bug, there is no need to apply the patch, although it wouldn't hurt.
  • June 3, 1999: JDK1.1.8 for A.OUT and ELF releases. This release adds support for older 3.*/ELF releases (without requiring any runtime loader changes), as well as fixes bugs in LOCALE and timezone support for all FreeBSD releases.
  • June 1, 1999: JDK2 status
    • Work on JDK1.2/JDK2 has been going very slow as the development team has been focusing it's effort on solid JDK1 releases. For most JDK2 development issues, you can use the JDK1 release and the Swing releases provided by Sun for JDK1, which works very well under FreeBSD.

April, 1999

  • Apr. 16, 1999: New JDK1.1.7 A.OUT release. This fixes build problems in the March release. A new ELF release will be made to support older 3.0 releases as well sometime in the near future.

March, 1999

  • Mar. 26, 1999: ELF support for JDK1.1.7, as well as a new A.OUT release which includes minor bugfixes.
    • jdk1.1.7_AOUT.V99-3-24.tar.gz. For FreeBSD versions 2.2.*, which use the A.OUT binary format.
    • jdk1.1.7_ELF.V99-3-25.tar.gz. For FreeBSD versions 3.x and 4 which use the ELF binary format. Note: This requires changes made to the runtime loader to support dladdr() functionality made on 1999/3/24. You will need to be running 3.1-stable or 4.0-current dated later than 1999/3/24. If you don't have the new loader binary or are not tracking -stable or -current, you can download it from here and install it as /usr/libexec/ld-elf.so.1 (you need to be root to do this): 
      # install -c -s -o bin -g bin -m 555 -C -fschg ld-elf.so.1 /usr/libexec
  • Mar. 16, 1999: Updates on current development:
    • ELF JDK1.1.7 : An ELF build of JDK1.1.7 (for use on FreeBSD 3.x and later) is currently entering it's initial internal testing phase. A beta release should be availible in a few weeks.
    • JDK2 (aka JDK1.2): Several individuals are working on porting JDK2 to FreeBSD, but the work is progressing slowly. This is primarily due to a lack of developer time to work on this project. (The release of Blackdown's JDK2 port will assist our development when they release their source diffs.)

December, 1998

  • Dec. 21, 1998: jdk1.1.7.V98-12-21.tar.gz.
    • Bugfix version of JDK1.1.7. Thanks go to Keith White who tracked down a couple annoying (and serious) bugs in the JDK, notably the modulo bug. This release also has the 256 file-descriptor limit bumped up to 2048. The JRE should also be much more usable, again thanks to Keith.

November, 1998

September, 1998

  • Sept 23, 1998: jdk1.1.6.V98-9-23.tar.gz.
    • The August 14 build had jre incorrectly linked in both the JDK and the JRE, so a new release was rebuilt with the correct linkage. Otherwise, there were no changes from the older release.

August, 1998

  • Aug 22, 1998:
    • Updated page to list numerous sites who have agreed to mirror the JDK and provide ftp access. Thanks to all!
  • Aug 14, 1998: jdk1.1.6.V98-8-14.tar.gz.
    • The SO_REUSEADDR option is now correctly set on ServerSockets (may affect other sockets as well.)

July, 1998

  • July 21, 1998: jdk1.1.6.V98-7-21.tar.gz.
    • Updated port to JDK1.1.6. Thanks go to Keith White kwhite@site.uottawa.ca who did most of the work to make this release happen!
    • More standard 'naming' for java.version and such.
    • Fixes for UDP/Multicast sockets.
    • The signal abort error may be fixed (knock on wood).
    • Add support for the "KOI8-R" and "CP866" encodings.
    • Timezone's now work correctly under FreeBSD (this required some native code, but it is embedded in the JDK so shouldn't affect users. However, FreeBSD has one of the few (only?) VM's that correctly support Timezones now).
    • sysRmdir() now correctly removes directories.
    • Link in the xpg4 library to support CJK locales.

May, 1998

  • May 5, 1998:
    • Updated page to include instruction on how to get Sun's JWS (Java Work Shop) working under FreeBSD.

February, 1998

  • February 25, 1998: jdk1.1.5.V98-2-25.tar.gz.
    • JDK's built on 2.2.2 should now work again.
    • The AWT now correctly sets the Window name.
    • Fixed obscure bug that could cause a core dump if you hit a button in a dialog box multiple times.
    • Fixed bug where SHMEM wasn't released when using images, causing a leak.
    February 12, 1998:
    • Johan Larsson graciously provided an ftp mirror site for the JDK, so if you have an aversion to using HTTP, then feel free to grab it from his site.
    • Replaced the 'Steaming Cup of Java' logo with the 'Jump to Java' logo, which is more politically (and legally) acceptable to SUN's lawyers.
    February 9, 1998: jdk1.1.5.V98-2-8.tar.gz.
    • Fixed bugs in Process.waitFor()
    • Modified the way the Motif library was linked in. This will allow anyone with a Motif library (static or dynamic) to build their own JDK once the patchkit is released. If their Motif license allows for it, they can also make binary releases available.
    • Non blocking reads on PIPE did not work reliably on all versions of the OS.
    • Multicast now works.

January, 1998

  • January, 1998:
    • Organization of FreeBSD 'JDK' porting team, which now jointly creates new JDK releases for FreeBSD.
    • New JDK1.1.5 binary, which has Motif statically compiled in. (Unfortunately, this release was lost in a disk crash on the ftp server.)
